The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ...While it’s still not clear what made Harvin unhappy and what transpired to turn him around again, a source with knowledge of the 2009 NFL offensive rookie of the year’s mindset tells PFT that Harvin now regards his fourth season as a contract year -- even though he still has two years left on his contract.
Diehards Line:In case you somehow missed it, on Tuesday, Harvin said he’s not happy, but he wouldn’t say why. On Wednesday, he skipped one of the team’s practices during a three-day mandatory minicamp. By Thursday, however, Harvin was pretending as if nothing had happened, actually feigning surprise over the fact that people were concerned. As PFT's Mike Florio pointed out, this could be an indication that "whatever the Vikings said to make Harvin reconsider whatever it was that made him reportedly ask to be traded included a suggestion that, if he performs well and behaves this season, the Vikings will take care of him financially in 2013." Seems like a big "if" in the wake of the above-outlined shennanigans, but we'll see.
